Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 26, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,746 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 888 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 682 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 540 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 540 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 682 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 44 collisions. 11 collisions (4%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 104 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 29 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
Speeds here, last measured in 2020
On Hawksbury Dr between Sheppard Ave E and Elkhorn Dr, 178 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2020 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Hawksbury Dr · Sheppard Ave E – Elkhorn Dr · 178 m | Feb 2020 · 24 h | 3,008 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 48 km/h |

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
